The hardest things are always said last… ( going on hiatus ).

As I push the 100 and something blog post threshold I feel myself losing interest. Perhaps it has a little to do with how hectic/busy my rl has gotten since this semester’s began. Like for example, I took pictures last week and I am not entirely satisfied with them but, I figured to achieve the ‘looks’ I want, I’d need to dedicate more time to the process… more time, which, I certainly don’t have.

So, what’s the basis of all this? Is it a subtle hint into the near future? Maybe… because, as it is this year will be an eventful one. I am graduating in the summer and making plans for grad school or pursuing a second degree. I’ll be leaning towards the latter but, I am certain my performance by the end of this semester will be the defining factor all around.

Oh, and not to mention, I’ll be moving in less than a month. Now, not to put my entire reallife out there because, I’ve always strived to maintain a certain amount of anonymity but, I think it is important everyone who cares understands the reasons behind my prolonged absences hence! the explanation…out of respect mostly… Because, I just think it’s rude to disappear without a word and not to the mention, the speculations that might arise as some people have no problem blatantly impersonating others ( e.g the never ending copybot crisis and the things in between) ~ of course, that’s another story for another blog post.

Anyway, I hope you’ve enjoyed my short ado about absences!. When I am officially back, you’ll be the first to know!

and as always,
xoxo

Video :: Heartbreak warfare by John Mayer
“Lightning strikes
Inside my chest to keep me up at night
Dream of ways
To make you understand my pain

Clouds of sulfur in the air
Bombs are falling everywhere
It’s heartbreak warfare
Once you want it to begin,
No one really ever wins
In heartbreak warfare

If you want more love,
why don’t you say so?”

New year renovations and a shape!.

Windlight settings :: Place Astryls wild

So, I spontaneously decided to tweak up my mini shop, Jumphearts, for the new year. As far as I can remember the last time I had done any major renovation was at least 8 months ago? So, I got tired of staring at the same old stuff and decided to get to work. Oh my goodness! almost a hundred hours later and some suggestions from Daphne and Tobias over at [HANDverk] I came up with this; taaadddaaaaa!. What do you think? yay? or nay? here’s a TAXI if you wanna check it out!.

Yes, the image was treated in photoshop with this free background I found!

I found this gorgeous house at marketplace by Kessi Andretti creator behind Sweet Harmony. My parcel is on the low prim side so I had to compromise a lot and ended up modifying the house down to about 20 prims. Overall, I was going for simple look and I’m happy with the results. Besides, I go googoogahgah for shabby chic or vintage houses anyday!. Oh! While on the subject of houses check out these from Willow’s. I am not familiar with her designs but, ran across them after I had purchased my house from Sweet harmony already. Anyway, If you’re looking for extremely cheap ( I mean as low as 10L ),cute and low prim shabby chic houses Willow’s seems very promising!.

Anyway, here’s a shot of me grinning my head off after I had finished EVERYTHING!. Although there are still a few things I’d like to change I am pretty content with how it’s turned out.

Also, I finally went ahead and got one of PINKFUEL’s Elly skins. I had been obsessing over her lipgloss collection which you can’t buy individually! … I went ahead and invested in one of her skins. Surprisingly enough -or not- I fell in love with the skin and decided to whip up a shape!. So, here’s to shape 003! dedicated to Pinkfuel!. I hope you like it \o/ .

In the meantime enjoy the first month of 2012 and I’ll see you soon!
Xoxo,
Mia

P.s. :: each shape contains a style card of what I’m wearing.

I am trying to keep track of my windlight settings so I’ll make it a point to mention them in each post as much as possible.

Hello, all you bronzed summer beauties!,

Though summer hasn’t officially begun over here, (yup, some of us have to wait till June 21th) I am so excited about the vast array of flower patterns popping up in sl. I like flowers in general, that’s definitely a known fact (see; Here, Here, Here and here)

And, did I mention how much I LOVE my new carry on scathel from La Blaq and the wreath of flowers from wishbone?? I have been looking everywhere for one, even requested a look on flickr weeks ago. Luckily, I got a response from Heather Beebe with a link to wishbox’s flower wreath. And OMG! I so pwerty!!! teetheehheh.

In other news I have added a new tab to my side bar called “current staples”. I don’t change certain items often like my eyelashes and skin. So instead of continuously blogging the same items over and over again I created the “current staples” tab. So if you wanna know what skin I am wearing in the most recent posts see the side bar!.

“There’s a place off ocean avenue,
where I used to sit and talk to you
we were both sixteen and it felt so right“

Let’s paint our faces.

Today, I wanna be young again. Not young, like young, but young like a kid. I think back to when I was a little kid. I had zero responsibilities aside from making sure I brushed my teeth at night and giving mom and dad a kiss before I went to bed. Sometimes things get so overwhelming and I’ve found that my escapism is sleep or music. What’s your escapism?

When you are ready to build a bridge and cross it.

I saved that title. Because, I knew this day would come. Oh go ahead, and accuse me of being a pessimist! But frankly truth is; good things don’t last.
I know, welcome to the oddities of my life. Break ups do happen. So without getting into so much detail revolving around my personal life in sl or outside here’s a little breakup outfit.

When you’re over him and you’re moving on… because strong women don’t just sit in the corner and cry our eyes out. We go party! and get wasted! duh!

So out of spite, I went for a soft pink colored dress. I’m trying to decide if I should wait for the night before valentines to go party my heart out, just so I get to sleep in on Valentines day and as a result miss the ridiculously redundant mushy “I love you candy hearts” that seem to float across the planet on this cursed day.

For dresses like this you just have to go to Luck inc. It’s not played out yet. And he just knows how he wants his women to look.

What I’ve got on!

Shoes :: Angelic Lefevre Couture by *MOI HEELS (see marketplace)
